Cigkoftem, a Turkish vegetarian fast-food chain founded in 1993, opened its first U.S. location on East Ninth Street back in January ... as we first noted here. In any event, it closed some time in the past two weeks... and the space is for rent...
----------
We happened to be on University Place this past weekend ... and noticed that University Restaurant at East 12th Street was still fairly intact ...
... the diner shuttered after 60 years of continuous service on Sept. 19. The "for rent" sign puts the rent at $39,000 per month...

Starting today, Brooklyn Flea is hooking up with Whole Foods Bowery for a new, rotating restaurant, as Fork in the Road pointed out on Oct. 10.
Per the signage out front, the Mexican sandwiches and tacos from Cemita's are up first...
----------
And Table Verta opened Thursday on East Seventh Street (at the former Taureau) ... Per the sign on the door, it's BYOB for now... Plus, cash only until they have Internet access.

Tried that Turkish joint. I love vegetarian food but their stuff wasn't all that tasty. Sorry they couldn't hang on.
I also don't think they chose a good location for a fast foodish type place....
Based on Local EV post I checked out Table Vert this weekend. Food was excellent and the chef/owner is clearly very passionate about creating tasty vegetarian food that even a non vegetarian like me (with many vegetarian friends) can enjoy. Excited to bring vegetarian friends and family there. Glad to have something like this in the neighborhood.
Not surprised about the Turkish joint. Every time I walked by, the sole employee (owner?) was sitting on the stoop smoking a cigarette. Bad for business.
